Development of a potential panel code for unsteady modelling of 2D airfoils in practical applications of large wind turbines

The present work is an effort to improve airfoil modelling in wind energy applications, specifically for large wind turbine blades. A new model based on inviscid panel methods with a free vortex wake is proposed for the aerodynamic representation of deforming and moving airfoils in a wide range of o...
